George Washington said, In one OF his
messages to Congress "The safety and the
interest Of the people require that they
should promote such manufactures as ten
der to render them Independent OF Others
for essential, particularly for military, sup-
plies"
Alexander Hamilton, In report to Con-
gress, said "That the independence and
security Of country appear to be ma
terially connected with the prosperity Oi
manufactures.
Benjamin franklin said SIT seems the
interest Of all our farmers and owners OF land
to encourage our young manufacturers In
preference to foreign ones"
Henry Clay said, in the United States
Senate "That the home market is first In
order and paramount In Importance"
Andrew Jackson said: "We should be,

stead Of feeding the paupers and laborers
Of England feed our own"
Abraham Lincoln said: 81 am In favor
of the internal improvement system and {

Ulysses s. Grant said that the great OBJ

The Republican Endorsed.
Now Nnrk Irihnnn

In all the Republican speeches at Cooper
Union on Saturday night there was not single
practical suggestion of how to reduce the
federal surplus. The Republican party is Il
party of glittering generalitles. 1t has no
specific measures to propose.-NcW York Sr.
When the Republican party had the re-
sponsibiity Of government, 1t always had
specific measures to propose. 1t carried
them, and they led to the cOuntry's pros
perity. 1t is not the task of the party In
opposition to propose specific measures.
Its trouble is that II does not know how to
do anything and is screaming for help from
the minority. II the Democrats were not
crazy free traders, however, they could
easily see one practicable way Of reducing
the surplus. Instead OF bowling for hori-
zontal reductions OF duties, which would
only increase the imports aud double the
surplus, let them increase the protection on
certain articles enough to stop the importa.
tlons and reduce the duties. Then etthem
take the duty off sugar, give a really free
breakfast table and wipe out half the sur
plus at single stroke. But they won't do
ii. They want free trade wherever it will
help their friends the importers, and hurt
only the workingmen and Republican man
ufacturers. They insist on protection in
Louisiana because Louisiana gives them
Democratic majorites.

Virginia, and Maryland campaigns. Now
Commissioner Lyman comes home and In.

THERE has been great exaggeratlon as to
the development OF the south In the last

fully told, show immense progress, and one
OF the best evidences of this is given by the

new cities which has grown like Jonah's

The estimate OF tie agricultural depart
m,nt is that the wheat crop Of 1887 amounts
10 $50, ,OOO, COO bushels. Brddstreet's estimate
of the reserve or visible supply in July was
70,OO00O0 bushels. The average annual
consumption Of wheat by the inhabitants
Of the United States is FIVE and a half
buthels, and at the present estimated pop
ulAtion the home demand would require
Pa, 1000, 900 bushels of the $50, 1000, ,00J bush
els forming the supply. Allowing a sur
plus of only 100000 900 bushels for the
flrst Of uext July, 135,COO,0O would be the

The Vacancy on the Supreme Bench.


1t has been suggested that one reason
why the vacancy on the Supreme Court
bench has not been filed is that q justice
could not serve until confirmed by the Sen
ate. This reason has no weight, as a nun.
Der OF justices OF the Supreme Court have
served prior to confirmation, and one chief
justice presided for a term of the court
and was rejected by the Senate when his
name was sent TO it for action.
When the vacancy in the chief Justice
ship OF the Supreme Court was created,
Apr. IL, 1904, by the appointment Of John
Jay to be envoy extraordinary OF the United
States "to his Britannia majesty and his
consequent subsequent resignation, Presl-
dent Washington appointed John Rutledge,
of South Carolina, then an associate justice
OF the Supreme Court, to be chief justice to
fill the vacancy, and he presided at one
term OF the Supreme Court as its chief
justice.
Subsequently, on Dec. 10, 1895, the Pres-
dent sent the following message to the
Senate, nominating the said John Rutledge
TO the said Officer
GENTLEMEN OF THE SENATE; nominate the
following persons to FIJI the oNNces annexed to
their respective names, which became vacant
during the recess OF the Senate
John Rutledge, Of South Carolina, to be Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court Eof the United
States, vice John jay, resigned,

This is one instance in which member
OF the Supreme Court Of the United States
and Its Chief Justice was appointed, quail

Other cases might be cited where appoint

To Prevent Opening Up OF Certain In
demnity Lands TO sstttement,

A cause that will attract considerable at
tention and involves many thousands OF
acres Of land, is that Just instituted by the
New Orleans Pacific Railroad Company
against the Secretary Of the Interior and
commissioner Of the general Office, TO enloin
the enforcement OF certain orders issued by
the Department OF the Interior. The bin
brought in equity sets out that the secretary
and commissioner are charged with the
execution OF the laws regulating the reser-
vation entry, and sale Of the public lands,
and under the laws OF the state Of Louisi
ania the complainant was authorized an1
empowered to receive grant OF lands from
the United States and to purchase O railroad,
and lease, own, and use a railroad In that
state; that by virtue Of said authority, in
January and February, 1881, they purchased
the N. o., B. Il. and Vicksburg railroad,
empowered to receive a grant Of the public
lands under the act Of March 3, 1871, and
the validity Of said assignment was recog-
nized by the commissioner Of the land office
in 1881, and afterward by the Attorney
General, the Secretary OF the Interior,
President, and several committees of the
Senate ana House OF Representatives.
The bill, continuing, recites the fact that
the complainants purchased from another
company 32s miles OF road; which was put
in operation, accepted by tho President Of
the United States, and they thereby became
entitled to about 32S, 900 acres OF land, II
that amount could be found in the odd
numbered sections within specified limits
For this land 1t was the duty OF the officials
OF the Interior Department named I'm the
bill to cause patents to be issued to the
railroad company. This they refused to do,
but did issue orders opening up the country
to settlement and purchase within the In
demnity limits. To prevent this being
done the prayer is made for an Injunction.
